You seem to have forgotten about the people with HCV where treatment has failed them, those who are doing the "watch and wait" and would hope to inhibit the progression of their fibrosis while they wait for less risky treatment options, those who are already beyond treatment and are trying to prolong their lives and for those who have other health issues that prohibit treatment.  You talk about HR's...

When I first met my husband he had nonA nonB there was no diagnosed HCV and that was in '87 or '88.  I can't imagine how the vets knew they had something that wasn't determined yet... Shoot they didn't even know about HIV yet. "As well, the virus is mainly spread by direct blood to blood contact, making it difficult to spread and evolve rapidly" How else is it spread? Mainly?...

He's toast if he can't stop drinking and take it all seriously.   More genotype 3 patients are responsive to therapy than genotype 1's, the most common Common cold genotype in the US.  They typically receive the interferon Interferon alfa-2a Interferon alfa-2b Interferon alfa-2b-ribavirin Interferon alfa-n3 Interferon alfacon-1 Interferon beta-1a Interferon beta-1b Interferon gamma-1b and...

Hi Jimmie, Kudos to you for trying to help. Have your friend review “Janis and Friends”; it’s a good place to begin. I’ll link you to their ‘newly diagnosed’ page, but be sure to read through the section “other HCV information” located in the right-hand margin as well. http://janis7hepc.com/have_you_been_just_diagnosed.htm Continue to read here and ask questions; this should give you a pretty good overview of this disease. I...

Thanks, and right back at ya! Annie, hope you feel better tomorrow!  Enjoy your holiday!

I wonder if the vetting of Dr. Berkson stated above is similar to the processes of vetting for MedHelp's advertisers.

I'm not sure about having to go for 48 weeks. It's not like you did the whole treatment and relapsed. You are not considered a relapser, since you did not finish treatment, so I do believe that the 48 week rule does NOT apply to your case. If I was you, I would retreat now. Nevertheless, I would not be comfortable with only 24 weeks. I would consider doing 32 or 36 weeks. Personally I would not wait until the new drugs come out....
